Nick Hogan's hacked nude photos of girls he dated in high school ... were a huge wake up call to instantly trash the images because, technically, they're now child porn -- and Nick had no idea they still existed.

The pics were taken when Hogan was in high school and even though he and the women in the photos were the same age at the time ... Nick didn't want people -- and cops -- thinking he was in possession of illegal images.

In fact, Nick didn't even know the computer with the pics was connected to the cloud, because it's been in storage for years. As we first told you ... the hackers also snatched shots of Nick's mom in a thong. Super creepy, but not illegal.

As for the high school souvenirs ... we're told Nick's now deleted all traces of 'em -- just to err on the side of caution.

Nick Hogan just became the first male celebrity to have his naked photos hacked in the iCloud scandal.

The photos that were hacked are voluminous and graphic. There are pics going back to his high school escapades, various girlfriends in various states of undress and sexual positions, penis pics and stuff like that.

The weirdest hack ... there are 2 photos of Nick's mom Linda in a thong, bent over and showing off her butt. Nick says those pics were NOT in his iCloud!

And here's the dark side. Nick kept pics of several girlfriends during his teenage years, and the girls were underage at the time. He believes the hackers are playing with fire because they constitute child porn. As for why Nick kept the pics ... he says he's kept almost everything from his life that was recorded or photographed.

Nick claims -- just like some of the female celebs -- some of the pics are not his ... notably the penis pic.

And get this ... if you plan to wear a do-rag or a bandana, FORGET ABOUT GETTING IN ... uhhh, Hulk's wearing one ON THE FRIGGIN' SIGN!!!!

We spoke with an employee at the restaurant, who said you can wear just about anything for lunch or dinner, but the dress code is strictly enforced during concert events. When we asked him about wearing oversized jewelry, he said, "I don't want to sound stereotypical ..." and then he trailed off.

We spoke with Hulk, who says he licenses his name to the restaurant but didn't know about the dress code and he's looking into it right now.

By the way, check out the promotional video for the restaurant -- no black people. However, there is a white dude wearing the FORBIDDEN camouflage shorts.

Linda Hogan is scoffing at her ex-BF's claim he was treated and paid like a day laborer during their relationship, saying he lived in the lap of luxury the entire time they were banging.

Sources very close to the former couple tell us ... the then 48-year-old ex-wife of Hulk Hogan paid full freight for then 19-year-old Charlie Hill ... from his wardrobe, to his food, to lavish vacations ... even an allowance.

We're told Linda is steaming over Charlie's $1.5 million lawsuit ... demanding money for the chores he performed, including waxing her yacht, fertilizing 25 acres of avocado trees and supervising a chain saw gang.

Linda says Charlie never had a real job during their entire 4-year relationship. She's especially irked about the boat waxing business, saying he wanted to become a boat captain and she paid for classes to get him certified. And waxing is part of the deal, right?

Charlie claims in his lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- Linda took advantage of their relationship and made him do all sorts of things, including wax the yacht, dig a creek and fertilize 25 acres of avocado trees.

Charlie's list of laborious chores goes on and on ... pulling reeds from the lake, construction, landscaping and running a chain saw team.

Charlie does not mention in the lawsuit ... he was living off Linda in a Simi Valley mansion on a lake.

But there's a twist. We've learned Linda and Charlie struck a settlement when they split -- he promised confidentiality and she let him keep his truck, dirt bike and the engagement ring he gave her. And he got $9K.

We're told Linda is now furious ... because Charlie did an interview violating the confidentiality agreement.

So Linda's lawyer, Ray Rafool, has filed a lawsuit against Charlie asking for an order gagging him. We reached out to Linda's rep, Gary Smith ... he had no comment.

Hulk Hogan's stolen boot has found its way home ... thanks in part to your good friends at TMZ.

The Hulkster tells TMZ the boot was returned today by one of the women involved in the theft. We're told the husband of one of the women involved (it's unclear which) saw TMZ's story about the theftand pressured the group to come clean.

According to Hulk, the woman who took the boot had returned home to Michigan, but left it in the car of one of the other women ... who lives in nearby Tampa. When the women called the store to say they would return the boot, the store then called the cops ... who were waiting when the woman arrived with the boot.

The woman who returned the boot was not arrested, but we're told a warrant has been issued back in Michigan for the woman who actually lifted the boot.

The women who walked off with an expensive piece of memorabilia from Hulk Hogan's shop in Florida were all caught on camera ... and TMZ has the surveillance video.

As we first reported, Hogan filed a police report Wednesday in Clearwater after he claimed four women conspired to steal a valuable piece of Hulkamania memorabilia ... a signed boot.

In the video, you can see the women make their way into the Hogan's Beach Shop ... and then congregate around the front desk clerk. Then something happens outside and the clerk, followed by four women, leaves the store to investigate.

But cameras pick up one of the women walking back into the store, walking straight to the back of the store, snatching the boot ... and calmly walking out. Cops described the woman as "a heavyset female in her 50s."

Hulk Hogan's Florida beach shop was hit by three chicks who distracted the manager ... while a fourth made off with a signed boot. Simple, and effective.

Hogan tells TMZ his staff discovered one of the pieces of Hulk memorabilia -- a signed wrestling boot -- went missing. But a quick look at surveillance video solved the mystery.

Here's what happened ... four girls came in and chatted up the manager. After luring the manager to the front of the store, one of the four snuck back in and lifted the boot. Someone who has seen the video tells TMZ ... the women are large and in charge.

Hulk tells us he's planning to file a police report today and hand over the surveillance video. He also says the girls showed off Michigan IDs to the manager, so they're probably in town for spring break.

Clearwater PD tells TMZ they are investigating the theft. They say the shoe was taken by "a heavyset white female in her 50s" -- while a worker got distracted by someone knocking over a statue of Hogan outside the store.
